Two little boys were playing by the
roadside as the new master passed along.
They hid behind a board fence and
peeped out as the genial faced man came
whiSling along, twirling q flower in his
hand, watching with interest some birds
in a tree above them. One little fellow
took in the human side Of the stranger at
a glance, exclaiming: "No, Bob, that
amt the master; it's q man." "Yes,
my boy, l am a man a well as the
MASTER" and he picked up the little
fellow and lifted him up as high rs his
arms could carry him, and as he rolled
him over on the grass in a rollicking way
he said: I'm always be a man in the
eyes of the boys if I can" 1t is not easy
for a teacher to be in school what he
would be out, but the genius usually

Identification Of Prisoners.

The latest method Of identifying pris-
oners, which las been introduced into
France by NJ. Alphonse Bertillon. and
which is now successfully practiced not
only in the chief French prisons, but in
Russia and Japan as well, is the exact
measurement Of the prisoner on his arriv-
al at the Jail. His waist, the length and
width OF the head, the left middle finger,
the left foot, the outstrctchel arms. the
three other fingers of the left hand, the
left arm from the elbow 10 the wrist, and
the length and width Of the ear are
measured. and the color Of the eyes and
any particularities are noted down. A

"WHEN anything, says the Chicago

ment of the American people they

they can whip all creation. Not one

world can hold q candle TO America

with one hand tied behind US, and
while we are moi anxious for such q

This is all very nice, Of course, but
let some one suggest that We clean out
the entire world with our skill as
manufacturers and Immediately
some paid agent or some
fool friend Of the Pennsylvania mo
nopolies cries out that We cannot conf
pete with these barbarians. Not even
in our own country can we meet them
on even terms. We a whip them
anywhere In the savage art Of war, but
in the field Of commerce, manufacture,
science, skill and ingenuity they can
beat the life out OF us at our very
doors. 1t Is q great pity that the self
reliance of the American people does
not get beyond the question Of brute
force. But does any thoughtful per.
son really believe that a nation which
can whip the world In war is unable

likely to do more than wonder when

BLAINE AND WALES.
Matters on Which the Plumed Knlgl
Can Enliyhten the GAY Prince.

Matters on Which the Plumed knight
Can Enlighten the Gay Prince.
The intimate relations between our
Blaine and England's Wales are well
calculated to raise futtcr in the Re-
publican bosom. 1t will not be Il
wholly pleasurable emotion, but a
mingled flutter, so to speak, of pride
and anxiety. There will be pride that
the plumed one is recognized by the
great ones of the earth as one of their
own kidney; but there will be anxiety
also lest his intimacy with this partic-
ular great one may prejudice him in
the fishing excursion upon which he
has gone for the Irish vote. And, I'M
fortunately, there is more ground for
the pride than the anxiety. Aside
from the fact that he is Prince there
is nothing great about H. R. H. He
has achieved no distinction on the
score of personal ability. He is neither
wise nor learned except in court Ell
guette, and his moral reputation is
seriously ''off color" Except by vir-
tue of his station he confers no honor
or distinction upon any American
citizen by receiving him upon
terms even of equality; and he certain
ly can confer none on a citizen who
has been exalted as MIR. Blaine has and
who holds the position ne does even
now in the estimation of large num-
Der of his fellow-citizens- Pride, there
fore, in his recognition by the Prince.
has an extremely flimsy foundation
and will chiefly be felt by those of
MIR. Blaine's admirers, who are given
to toadyism or anglomania-
For anxiety, on the other hand, there
really are excellent grounds. What
ever the Prince may be personally, he
represents system which Ireland
and Irishmen have found harsh and in
tolerably oppressive and against which
they are to-day in moral, as they may
be at almost any time in actual, revolt.
Even if the Irish were in condition of
mind to reason calmly and dispassion-
ately on the subject, they might well
wonder that professed friend of theirs

run after one who embodies quite as
much as any one person can the OPP
ression they find so grieyous And

"False teeth, yes!-and, likely
enough, that mustache of his is false,
foo," sharply said the lady, who had
taken an unaccountable dislike to Mr..
Forrest from the very first time she
had laid eyes on him.
eff you take that rid'cule over to
John Doty's you're bigger TOOL than
/ think for" was Miss Smiths tart re-
mark, when Tad spoke to her on the
subject. I'm free to confess" she
continued, after a little, "that it
mightn't be such bad plan to open
the bag, and see what's in it-that is,
if Cap'n Flagg thinks it's the right
thing to do" she added, for she had
considerable respect for the Captains
Judgment. But the Captain was away
on coasting trip; so the matter had to
be deferred until his return, rather to
the disappointment of Miss Smith,
whose secret curiosity as to the con-
tents of the bag had something to do
with her suggestion.
So, when Tad again saw Mr. Forrest,
he told him that he guessed he
wouldn't do any thing about opening
the sachel, for awhile longer, at least
perhaps he might see it advertised in
some of the city papers yet, if he could
only get hold of the right one.
Mr.. Forrest smiled unpleasantly. and
said, rather sneeringly, that he had
kept run of the city papers as con-
stantly as most people, and. to his GER
tain knowledge, no such advertisement
had ever been published, nor would
there ever be, as the owner was doubt
less dead, or had long since given up
the search of his lost property. OF
course, Tad would do as he hked-it
was nothing to him; and Tad noticed q
decided chill in the tone and manner
of the usually genial Forrest, as he
turned away.
And yet, in spite of the gentleman's
assertions as to the matter of the adyer-
tisement he carried in his inside coat
pocket a copy of the Boston Journal,
which contained notice of consider
able Importance to Tad Thorne, could
ne but have known it.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1887-09-22

eff there had been any thing Of mach
value in it, Mr.. Forrest observed,
watching Tad closely, 1.-THE owner
would have been likely to have adver-
tised in the city papers,"

shouldn't be any the wiser for that,
down here in Bixport, for about the
only city papers that come here are the

Farmer"
by Georger' said Mr.. Forrest, with
a gay laugh, my curiosity is consider
ably excited by that mysterious sachel.
Look here, Tadr' he continued, with
IN eXtrayagant display of teeth, I'm
one of the queerest fellows you ever
saw. and III tell YOU what I'll do. I'll
give you new clean ten-doIlar bill for
the bag without seeing Unknown
contents and all; what do you say?"

piled, quietly.

Il, as Tad shook his head rcsOlutely,

"Why, it isn't mine to sell, SIR" was
the same grave reply, and Mr.. Forrest
muttered something under his mus
tache in reference to IAN obstinate
young fool" which Tad did not quite
catch.
Further conversation on the subject
was prevented by the sudden appear
:'nce of Polly Flagg, accompanied by
Joe Whitney, on her way to school.
Polly, who was a special favorite with
Miss Smith, had permission to pick all
the flowers she wanted. So, with
smile and nod to Tad, she began Gull
ing a little bouquet of purple pansies
for Miss Burbank, her teacher; while
Joe, with one hand in his pocket, calm
1y munched huge winter Baldwin,

Have bite, Mr.. Forrest" asked
Joe, advancing the unbitten' side
of the apple, with easy familiarity.
To please the youth Mr.. Forrest con-
descendingly and unthinkingly set his
teeth in a portion of the tempting fruit.
Joe jerked away his hand suddenly, for
some reason or other, and stood appar-
emily transfixed with astonishment as
he did so, for inserted in the apple
which he held was left very nice set
of false teeth.
With an inarticulate exclamation Mr..
Forrest grasped apple and all, and van
ished through the gate, leaving small
party of three convulscd with laughter,
which was only checked by the ap-
pearance of Miss Smith, who conde-
seconded to smile grimly when she heard
pf the unfortunate occurrence.
